role of professional development as a sustainable model forimproving the AI literacy of the current and future workforce.IntroductionIn this era of rapid technological advancements, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transformingacademic and professional landscapes, driving innovation across disciplines and sectors [1].Engineering education, as a field that intersects deeply with technological evolution, stands at theforefront of integrating AI into pedagogy, research, and professional practice [2]. Generative AI(GAI) has emerged as a valuable tool, with the potential to enhance teaching and learning throughautomation, creativity, and personalized education [3]. However, the pervasive adoption of GAItechnologies has also raised significant

to turn down orders due to a lack of available skilled workers atall levels (according to Verein Deutscher Ingenieure [1]).Unfortunately, these analyses have almost forgotten about the sociological conditions as decisionfactors for students, as Pfennig [2] states. Fislake [3] and Heine [4] add that these developmentsare merely a result of the cumulative effect of individual decisions. As a result, despite interest,talent, and a positive self-image of expected technical skills, there is a lack of enthusiasm for STEMcareers and studies.To address the problem, policymakers, business, academia and civil society are attempting toaddress the STEM skills gap through a variety of activities to promote sustained interest intechnical careers and to

In addi-tion, young engineers are expected to think systemically and holistically, as well as to be ableto critically reflect on their own actions [2], [3].

Furthermore, in East Asia, particularly in South Korea, the intense focus oneducation has led to an increasing number of students opting to study abroad due todissatisfaction with the domestic educational environment [3].

. Introduction and Brief Literature ReviewThe problem-solving process holds significant importance for Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Studies indicate that numerous STEMgraduates exhibit noticeable challenges in their problem-solving abilities. These challengesare caused partially by cognitive processing [1] and motivational regulation [2] duringproblem-solving tasks. Our preliminary findings indicate that reviewing solutions aftercompleting problem-solving tasks had a minimal impact on enhancing students’understanding, particularly when tackling challenging problems [3]. To become effectiveproblem-solvers, students must grasp the connection between task characteristics and theprocessing demands required during

After teaching the course for 11 semesters, weidentified several challenges with the data literacy assignments: 1. The assignments did not have students create data visualizations, an important element of communicating about data. 2. The assignments had too many elements, resulting in students focusing on formulaic assignment elements while avoiding doing the critical thinking to make arguments with data. 3. Assignments developed to address the diversity of student backgrounds and experiences were not engaging to students and often required them to research and
